We now have 2 excellent Apps when travelling.
Waze running on my iPhone 7 Plus really burns down the battery and the phone gets hot. iOS 12 might need some optimization still.

Now that you mentioned it, I also noticed that my Apple 6s also got kind of hot when I used WAZE yesterday, The battery was fully charged when I got home.

I wonder IF running the App on Bluetooth (At the added risk of the battery wearing down too fast) rather than with the wire helps ??

I will try it an report on this in a couple o' days

Found out that Bluetooth for Car Play is ONLY available in a chosen few vehicles. My Honda is not.

Trend is that most all will be Bluetooth ready in a couple of years.

I’m enjoying Waze. I get to see some neighborhoods I’d otherwise probably my have never seen.

Waze working really well in my Honda...Going to Broward County later this AM to not so familiar areas for me (I live in SW Miami Dade) so the WAZE will really come in handy..

Waze has been great but it does heat up my phone considerably.
